PhD Progress
13 years ago
Analyzing the first month of it would be like trying to explain M- Theory to a child, very tedious and overly complex. None-the-less I will try to explain the journey thus far;
In the weeks of college I've had, I've been given the task to open a new "Clean Room" in my college, a research facility for Science and Medical Personnel only, as of last year "Clean Room" time was seriously sparse to come across, you'd almost have to cue just to sign up for a spot. Research last year, in not only my field, but many fields has increased tenfold.
Paper released last year "Anthropological Brain Waves and ID" was all about investigating through the "Clean Room" technology, though I found it very hard to get any time here at all. This year however, I've been blessed with opening the new one. So not only am I given top priority if I want to use it, I also get to assess those who want to use the facility, and all must come to me for access to the room.
I've never had that much power before, but I will gladly take that advantage to aid me in this journey.
I know I need it.
With that, I also had the luxury of taking the time off to introduce the students of first-fifth year of medicine, into the hell-hole that is a PhD. Although I didn't use those words, as I was promoting the colleges research facilities. Also the importance of education in today's economy.
I found the more I talked about my current papers, the more I understood, how each group analysed and adopted the concept. Some may not have wanted to listen to me, but in general. The reception was good. My lecturer of last year said with confidence that;
"You should present more things about us, as I have a way with words"
This was a compliment but with a tiny twist, she wanted me to present my course in college at the open day in 13. I had to decline, I have way to much on my plate, and next with along with my graduation which will mean no Eirtakon for me this year. It will mean even more delays on my end.
I have tried to get into the motion of finishing a page a day, that's slow and steadily going down the drain. As i feel the work load I have now is just an onslaught of writing, so my temperament to write more when I do get home, is...Well... I get lazy... Plus I have my first big publication due in December so I have to work a lot on that.
I found out maybe this year again, i'll be celebrating Christmas at work.
Because I need the hours due to the 5th pay-cut to my salary in less than 12 months. I find it hard to believe... But the government here still find ways to take my money. I don't see a future here anymore... Since that moment...I won't complain though.
I mean the kids of Darfur got nothing on me right (lol)
Alas, I know I made the decision, and even though I don't regret that I made the right choice, I wish I had more options on the decision rather than a Catch 22....

Its that, that really toots my horn
I know a rhino joke...
*sighs* I fear we're in the same boat at times, stuck in places we don't want to be, struggling to fight the damn catch 22 we find ourselves shackled to (which by the way, is my most loathed situation to find myself in) there are days when i envy everyone around me who have the freedom to go wherever they please, much as you do.
it gets me howling mad
see, i can make werewolf jokes now that you've opened that particular pandora's box...
Pandora can speak wonders, I feel its this curse, I feel no joy in saying this.
But I digress, i'll be taking a stab in the dark here. I see no real way out of this dead end tediousness...
